In soccer, draws must be broken – Pique
Former Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has called for draws to be abolished in soccer.
In his opinion, this is the only way the sport can compete with Netflix and TikTok.
Pique said he saw children losing interest in the game and argued that soccer was failing to attract the attention of younger generations.
Speaking to The Times, the 37-year-old said: “One of the reasons we created the Kings League was because we saw kids watching a football game and 10 minutes later they were on their phones or tablets and watching something else at the same time. Body”. Soccer is entertainment, so it's not just about competing with other sports. It competes with Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, and TikTok. Time is limited for everyone. 90 minutes of football is not that exciting.”
Pique further added: “We need to find a way to score more goals, otherwise we won't be able to end the match in a draw.” Maybe there is no draw, but why? There are no ties in baseball and basketball. When you go to a match and it ends in a draw, you wonder, 'Who won? ” I feel like that. ”
